I began this blog while learning to run and training for my very first race! Now I'm just your friendly neighborhood mad scientist still trying to live a healthy life...day by day :)

Hooray for technology

Hooray - I fixed my iPod. I was able to restore it to factory settings at work an then when I got home I dumped back all the pod casts and tunage onto it. It took ages because my computer is old and only has USB1, but I set her up to go and went to bed. J was out late and he shut it down for me when he got in. He's been busy this week too...after a night shoot he got to go to a meeting for a thing he and some friends are planning....it's coming together well. And he got a little time out with the guys too, which is a good thing. If there is one good thing about me working so much, it's encouraged J to get out and do more things on his own and develop some friendships outside of me...I'm glad to see him happily busy. Tonight we have tickets to go out and dance our butts off. We have tickets to Mstrkrftand Crystal Method. Time to shake it like a Polaroid picture. :)

This AM I was up and in to work (with my new tunes) and did my butt work, with the upper body stuff and then 29 minutes on the arc trainer, all sweaty to the new music...it's nice to have a whole bunch of new stuff to choose from. The gym is closed tomorrow, so I'll have to devise a home workout before I come in and do a bit of work all day, but if I can start late because...well, I'll be out late and I'm in on my own time AND if I'm very lucky I can take Sat and Sun off work (well not come *in* to work anyways...) and spend some time with J. I have supper with my brother and Dad on sunday, which should be nice. Plus the local retro theatre is also having a showing of Labyrinth (costumes encouraged...he heh...wish I had time for that!) on the weekend. My bro and I (I swear he's such a girl) are planning to go...I LOVED that film. Plus, I mean David Bowie in tight pants? Jennifer Connolly? Jim Henson magic? :) I can't wait...I think I can get J to come too (musicals make him make funny faces but this one is cool). It will be nice to relax a bit :)

And so I must be off to the lab. I got back my grade on my reading class - 85% Oh. Yeah.Done with class...now back to the fun. I have to look at all I have to do and make a plan to get it done. Very exciting :)Ta tah!

I'm a nice person. No really, I am.
I'm definitely not trying to create a monster in my lab and I'm definitely not working on a cure for cancer...Well....OK maybe. After kicking breast cancer's ass I got back to mad science -maybe my research will help cure cancer some day...the monster thing just sounds more cool...if being a scientist can be said to be cool...umm...
hey what's that over there?
(whoosh!)

I've always wanted to be a jogger, but am too much of a slacker. SO I signed up for a marathon...and I DID it :) I have lost, and kept off, ~50 pounds in the past few years by changing the way I move and eating better.

I also love bellydancing. After a knee injury I've been exploring all kinds of new ways to be fit to supplement running. During grad school I took advantage of my school gym and begun Operation Uberfrau - building a stronger me.

In 2013 I was diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer and came through my treatments with a complete pathological response. Through all my treatments and surgeries I am determined to move forward and rebuild my body after chemo and take my healthy journey through all of this new adventure called life.

Because people - Life is good :)

I started this blog to keep me motivated. I don't know how interesting you'll find it all to read, but if you keep up with me, we can do it together!

Operation Uberfrau is underway!!!

Building the best me. Day by day.

It's the little things...

Goal of the month:

January - After holidays I need to get back to regular workouts and get ready for my final surgery in March. This is Insanity Yo.

February - Operation Foob (OF) - Buckle down and eat clean, with daily workouts to get toned and shake a few pounds prior to evaluation for surgery.

March - My last surgery. EVER. Muahahaha!

Time to heal. :)

April - Again with the healing. Back to work.

May - Once I get cleared to do more I can get back to walking to work and working out a bit. Ease into fitness to get more fit for the summer.
